KitKatie329 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Lesson learned. Never let other people move your roaches. I lost an entire colony because my mom left my roaches in her car while she made an hour long stop. It's 105 degrees. I lost 100 dollars of roaches and 600 isopods. No more Panchlora nivea for me I guess... she doesn't understand why I'm upset over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 That stinks. There are so many times also that the animals themselves leave us in the same position by seeming to be ready to reproduce and then falling over dead for no reason at all.

vfox Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I lost my entire first colony of firefly mimics due to a mistake in container type. I basically overheated a perfectly sealed and very humid container, effectively drowning them in the air. Be thankful it was not your own mistake that caused it. I have a crap-ton of Panchlora nymphs currently; for the first time in like two years they are finally doing well. They are one of my favorite so I understand your pain of losing the colony. Where do you live that it's so hot btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbrush Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Almost the same thing happened to my hybrid hisser colony last month. The tube was close the window, but I forgot the sun will shine on that spot for an hour or so in summer, the whole box was overheated one day, and everything in it literally cooked.

KitKatie329 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 I live in Las Vegas, a few weeks ago it was hitting 111 here. Brutal. And I'm sorry to all of you who have also lost your roaches, it's extremely frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierre72 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I live in Las Vegas, a few weeks ago it was hitting 111 here. Brutal. And I'm sorry to all of you who have also lost your roaches, it's extremely frustrating. I'm really sorry about your loss too, Katie. I know how you feel 2/3 times over. 20 years ago, an exterminator devestated a wild roach population I had by fumigating. Later on, he even found and destroyed ones I'd protected from him in tanks!! Unfortunately, I rented. Also when I've tried to keep crickets they all die on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
